what happened
Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said further policy adjustments should be guided by a careful look at data trends, the evolving outlook and the balance of risks. According to the text of his remarks, due to be delivered in San Diego on Friday, data for October still points to well above-target inflation, as reported by Dow Jones Newswires.
Jefferson said that data since the Fed's October meeting show economic activity and the labor market remaining broadly solid, while inflation readings reflect persistent price pressures. He also said he remains worried that higher energy prices could lead to a lasting rise in inflation more broadly.
why it matters
Remarks from Fed officials shape expectations for interest rates, and with them Treasury yields and the dollar. A cautious tone and emphasis on persistent inflation risks lower the odds of an early easing in the market's eyes, though this text contains no policy decision.
